Spy Report: TARGET "Cancels" Star Wars

We are just getting early reports on this, and although they're making a great deal of sense, it still saddens us nonetheless. Click through for more.

UPDATE: Additional information added....



Our spies at TARGET are reporting that the Star Wars section in the action figures aisles is no longer being reset. Headquarters canceled it out of the plan-o-gram teams' schedule. Another way of simply saying this is that the Star Wars section has been deleted by Target. There are no plans to reset it at this time. Store level management wasn't told why, but obviously we know why. Clearly, the soonest we will see this reversed is in the Fall later this year, which typically has a July/August street date. (And all Hasbro had to do was release what they had planned already and just call it a day. Sigh.)

UPDATE: We have received additional confirmation that this action is nationwide. Some stores may have already reset for 2013 product before it was "officially" deleted. This could have happened for several reasons, none of which is confirmed as of this moment. If we receive an update, we will post it here.
